Chapter 582
"Hahaha, Maester Walys, guess what King said to me?"
Old Ash-Cold Castle.
The sky fell with feather-like snowflakes.
The green leaves of the garden trees are dotted with clusters of white snow. The ground is soaked with residual snow, and the black mud sticks to the feet.
Rickard laughed and took off the sword belt and black cape, handed it to squire, and walked side by side with a young Maester to the tall stone gate.
Well, Dany "crossed" again.
Not really crossing, but seeing through the trees what happened several decades ago, probably reading the memory of the trees?
Before, she was in Red Keep 19 years ago; at this time, she came to Winterfell.
And see Rickard again.
Duke of Winterfell is almost 20 years younger.
Somehow, in this Rickard, Dany felt the same air as his eldest son Brandon.
Not a bloody long sword of Sao | Lang.
More like...Stark's Wolf Blood?
She's not quite sure.
"The rumor is right, we King here..." The young Rickard nodded on oneself's big fluffy head, lightly said with a smile: "There is something wrong with him here."
"What other weird talk did he say?"
Maester, named Walys, not only did not correct Feng Jun's rudeness, but instead joked about King of the Seven Kingdoms.
Perhaps because they are both young, Duke and Maester are very close, friends.
"King wants to build another Wall." Rickard said with a big smile.
"He said that if another Wall was built 500 kilometers north of the Wall, the land between the two Walls would be included in the kingdom.
Seven Kingdoms would be much better at least. 300,000 square kilometers of land!"
"Haha, King has some crazy ideas from time to time, we should get used to it.
When he was still King Crown Prince, he and King Duke Tywin negotiated a plan to dig a canal to carry water from Trident and Blackwater Rush to Dorne.
In this way, the deserts of Dorne could be turned into fertile fields.
Almost immune to winter hardships Dorne, can plant rice and wheat uninterruptedly enough to feed the entire Westeros." Maester Walys shook his head with a smile.
Then he added: "Last year he had just ascended the throne, and he would have called up the Seven Kingdoms army, planned to occupy the Stepstones, and then collected the merchant tax on the ships to and from the Narrow Sea.
If it were not for Duke Tywin to dissuade him , I don't know how to end it now!"
Rickard stopped laughing and sighed: "King Aerys has a good purpose, opening up territory for the Seven Kingdoms.
However The plans are all so unrealistic.
Why did Brandon the Builder build the Wall at this location?
It's not because it is the narrowest part of the continent, only 500 kilometers Width?
Pushing 500 kilometers to the north, the amount of engineering has increased almost tenfold.
But now there is not even a tenth of Brandon the Builder.
There is also a canal that runs through the north and south continents. It is difficult for the whole country to complete it in a hundred years.
Everyone wants to occupy the Stepstones and then control the Narrow Sea, but which city-state can become a law|*|gong”

Maester Walys said meaningfully: "Every time a Targaryen is born, Gods flips a coin and decides whether he is great or crazy.
There is no doubt that Aerys is the crazy one. One side.
Lord Duke, this is an opportunity for you."
"What opportunity?" Rickard asked suspiciously.
"The North is vast, but it's hard to match your talent and ambition. Stark is King in the North, but you can go further.
You should look away and wear Go past The Neck, across the Riverlands, Vale, to the heart of Westeros, King's Landing.
Duke Tywin becomes Hand of the King at age 20, and your talent is as good as his, maybe... You can outrun him." Walys faintly said.
——Lying | Groove! What does this Maester want to do?
Dany is stunned.
She didn't care at first about the conversation between the two northerners.
Even if they were laughing at her cheap dad's "wonderful idea," she didn't care.
Even under the Megatron, the Dragon Queen of the Eternal Emperor is unavoidable to be gossiped behind his back.
Mad King what virtue and ability, want to get the sincere love of all his subjects?
She only intends to stay here for a while and gradually become familiar with the ability to "travel through time and space", but now...
It seems that she is shocked!
Dany's "honest and honest" North Duke is by no means the first time he has heard such remarks today.
There was no doubt on his face, no incredible surprise, but mostly looked thoughtful and be eager to have a try.
"This is our kingdom, leave, leave..."
Just as Dany is concentrating, trying to "fast forward" to see if Rickard is really ambitious, he asks. The annoying Three-Eyed Crow came over again.
"shua - shuh - ah!"
Dany's silhouette disappeared from Duke of Winterfell's study in an instant, "teleporting" under a huge Weirwood tree.
Under the Weirwood canopy, by the dark liquid pool, Dany meets Bran.
Bran looked admiringly at the middle-aged man sitting under the tree, wiping a smoke-black greatsword with a sheepskin handkerchief.
Dany came over suddenly and happened to be right next to Bran.
next moment, the sadness and longing on Bran's face disappeared and became hollow.
He only looked at Dany once, and she was completely free from the trunk and roots, back to the dark cave full of Weirwood roots.
"You shouldn't do that," Brynden sighed.
"Why?" Dany was stunned for a moment before recovering from the "jet lag" from the confusion of time and space - when she first returned to the cave, her head was dizzy.
"I'm going to take your dragon, take your throne, will you? You're violating Greenseer's rights," Brynden said.
"Isn't it too domineering?" Dany said dissatisfiedly: "The earth is there, and the trees are there, why can only you use it?"
"For millions of years , only the Greenseer with inheritance can freely shuttle on the edge of the River of Time, ordinary Greenseer can easily get lost in it.
You don't have the ability to shuttle time, and all the places you have been before are along the... A person's trajectory, just like he walked on the river, left traces, you just...
Forget it, explain it, you don't understand. You just need to understand, We're protecting that power and making sure it's not misused by others," Brynden sighs.
Dany raised his chin and said with a sneer: "Isn't that where I went, Bran stayed, why can't I understand?
Also, I It's the Queen, only the power in my hands can't be abused, you...
Now this Queen suspects that you use the ability of Space and Time Travel in trees to exercise harm to human beings Illegal activities.
You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become evidence in court.
Now, hand over the tools to represent the country and the whole country The Queen of mankind will take care of it!"
Brandon closed his eyes and sighed: "You go...Leaf, send the guests away."
Squirrelmen Leaf came to Dany and said nothing Fading, only looking at her with big cat eyes.
Dany couldn't take it anymore.
"Let's go." She stood up and said to the five little brothers sullenly.
"It's about two o'clock in the morning now, don't think about how dark it is outside. If Others ambushed, Belwas and Queen will be miserable." Belwas muttered loudly as he lit the torch.
"There are only Wights nearby, Others won't come," Leaf said.
"Are you sure? I think it's safer to wait for the day." Big Bear doubted.
"This is a shelter! Just as the Others can't go through the Wall, they can't come here," Squirrelmen emphasized.
"Hodor..."
Several people moved a lot, and the sound of armor collision and talking was not small, and the Squirrelmen, Reed, and Hodor in the corner were all awakened .
"Would you like to go together?" Dany stopped at the exit of the Brynden cave and looked at the Reed siblings.
"No... no, we'll leave with Bran."
swamp land Maiden hearing this, a look of hope on his face, but he was silent The younger brother of the sound gave him a look, then hesitantly refused.
"You're dead if you don't leave," Dany said to Jojen.
"This is my destiny."
Jojen's voice was softer than goose feathers, weaker than summer snow.
"Follow me, and you can change your destiny in no time," Dany said.
“I knew at the age of six that it was my mission to help Bran become a Greenseer, and I had no intention of changing that fate,” Jojen said.
"Six?" Dany frowned.
"When I was six years old, I got grey water fever (a disease of The Neck), and the Three-Eyed Crow saved me when I was about to die and gave me 'Greensight' as a gift." Jojen sighed.
Dany looked thoughtful.
It's quite possible that Jojen is the gift package Three-Eyed Crow has prepared for Bran.
Three-Eyed Crow gave him "Greenspring" back then, but now both principal and interest - Jojen's Green Dream innate talent, all return it to the new Three-Eyed Crow.
Compare with Greenseer and Dragonlord, Greenseer = Dreki, Green Dream = Dragon Dream (not Dreki in Dany's dream, but Daenys' dream of prophecy).
Greenseer, like Dreki, has a certain predictive ability, but it is far inferior to the professional "Green Dream" and "Dragon Dream".
This can be seen from the fact that Daenys escaped the cataclysm, but the Grand Sorcerer was wiped out.
Perhaps, the pure Greenseer is also flawed - as Brynden said before, the ordinary Greenseer can get lost in the communication with the trees.
Perhaps, Three-Eyed Crow is the Greenseer who completed "Green Dream".
Jojen is Bran's sacrifice.
Full body Bran will have Green Dream abilities from Jojen!
Thinking of this, Dany looked towards Jojen with sympathy.
"What about you, do you want to come with me? Maybe the day after tomorrow you can go back to Greywater Watch."
She asked Jojen's elder sister Meera.
"I...stay, Jojen and Bran need me." swamp land Maiden said.
Dany rolled his eyes and squinted at Bran who was driving the "Hodor Gundam", saying:
"Your younger brother is doomed, Bran will be the same as Brynden. Climb to the Weirwood throne, join the trees, and stay here forever."
"Hodor, Hodor!" Hodor's eyes flashed with horror.
Bran is not yet fully Three-Eyed Crow at this time, and there are still human emotions - although they are quietly fading.
Meera gave the younger brother a sad look, and said in a firm tone, without hesitation, "I'll always be with Bran."
"Hodor!" Hodor's big eyes were foggy. , I was moved to tears.
Dany looked at the two oddly for a while, then asked, "Do you like Bran?"
"I, I don't..." Meera's thin sallow face flushed .
"I don't know." swamp land Maiden bowed his head.
"Wow! I can't say that Belwas will come back in a few years and see a few little Three-Eyed Crows!" Belwas clapped and said with a big smile.
Big Bear glanced at the oath brother, shook his head and said, "Bran broke his spine, just like you, can't do it, how can I have a baby?"
"Hey, he's bigger than Belwas. Sad, Belwas can at least become White Cloak." Fat Eunuch looked at swamp land Maiden with pity.
"Actually, it's not impossible." Dany said.
"Yeah, I can still pray to Mother." Belwas stunned.
"You asked the Three-Eyed Crow to pray to The Seven?" Big Bear contorted.
"You originally believed in Old Gods, but don't you also believe in The Seven now?" Belwas said in disapproval.
"Three-Eyed Crow is the High Septon of the Old Gods!" Garth barked.
Dany looked at Hodor and said meaningfully: "Oneself's body is not good, can I replace it with someone who can do it!"
